Wall Township, NJ August 17, 2004 -- By themselves, the number of annual visits to the emergency room by an asthma sufferer or an expectant mother’s age or lifestyle aren’t reliable barometers of these patients’ outcomes. However, as predictive modeling tools become increasingly more sophisticated and accurate, healthcare providers are examining a wealth of data to determine which patients can be helped the most and how to prevent future severe outcomes. In a three-part series of audio conferences, the Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN) takes a closer look at predictive modeling and its role in addressing specific diseases.
Predictive Modeling Tools & Methods: Asthma and Prenatal, a September 15th audio conference and the first in the disease-specific series, will cover how organizations are using predictive modeling to meet the specific needs of asthma and prenatal care patients. The audio conference is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Future disease-specific audio conferences will focus on predictive modeling and its role in addressing specific diseases: coronary artery disease and hypertension, followed by diabetes and obesity.
Our expert panelists include Howard Brill, Ph.D, director of medical informatics, Monroe Plan for Medical Care; Dogu Celebi, MD, vice president of medical affairs & business development, IHCIS; and Michael Cousins, Ph.D, director of informatics, Health Management Corporation. They will describe how predictive modeling’s focus on patient populations and outcomes as it relates to asthma and prenatal patients can result in dramatic improvements in patient care and financial results.
You’ll get information on:
ROI by disease state;
Methodologies by disease state; and
Lessons learned in examining these patient populations.
The audio conference will serve the information needs of CFOs, CMOs, risk managers, actuaries, analysts, informatics, medical directors, and executives responsible for utilization management, disease management, case management and quality management from health plans, hospitals, PBMs, disease management companies, predictive modeling companies, large employer groups and physician groups.
The audio conference will include a live question-and-answer period, which allows participants to tap the expertise of the presenters to ensure that all aspects of the subject are addressed. A recorded version of the audio conference will also be available on CD-ROM. For more information on the conference, please email info@hin.com call toll-free (888) 446-3530 or visit:
